One version of calculating this property involves dividing the electron densities of atoms and is named for Sanderson. Taking the average of the ionization energy and the electron affinity of an atom gives the Mulliken scale for measuring this value. Atoms with identical values for this property will have non-polar bonds and those with large differences form ionic bonds. For 10 points, name this property usually measured on Pauling's scale that describes the ability of an atom to attract a bonding pair of electrons, for which fluorine has the highest value at 4.0.
